DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The CRA requires domestic and international commercial data to identify current and predictive credit scores, behavioural patterns, income, assets, and liabilities of businesses.

Bidders may submit a bid for the bulk domestic commercial data or the bulk international commercial data or the searchable database or all three. Each requirement will be evaluated separately.

International = two or more countries, other than Canada.
The period of any resulting contract will be for one (1) year with four (4) additional one (1) year option periods.
